Alexander's Veteran Testimonials

Recently, I have been watching ancient Greek philosophy and mythology. At noon, I have no intention of turning out a 2004 "Alexander the Great", a three-hour epic blockbuster, a leader in an era, let's see what he has to tell me.
The movie is legendary from the beginning. The old man who wrote the history book said that he met many amazing people in his life, and only one of them was Alexander. Many people asked if Alexander really existed, and he would say no, because in the cult and reverence of people, Alexander was no longer himself.
The veteran said that he was fighting now, and he no longer knew whether it was for the city-state and wealth, or for Alexander's personal dream.
After Alexander fought Europe and Asia, he could not climb the snowy mountains and India. He was invincible all the way. 150,000 people were sweeping the virgin forests of India. The veteran didn't say anything because it was loneliness.
A veteran summed it up. The cruelest thing in war is not to die in battle, but to die in battle without touching a woman. Speaking so close to life, perhaps he wanted to express the sorrow of that era.
The veteran said that he didn't want to fight anymore. After ten years of fighting, the new-born child in the family had not been seen, and the more he talked, the more anxious he became. Some veterans said that they wanted to go home for more than eight years. King Shan, look at how many old faces you are familiar with, who accompanied you on the expedition. Some died of honor, some died of bad luck, but they all died.
Alexander reassured everyone by playing for a few more weeks and reuniting with family and sharing stories of wealth and Asia. Alexander is very good at grasping the psychology of the masses, and he will work hard for the rest of his life. He does not want to live to the end to go home and brag with a bunch of idiots.
The veterans said, stop fighting, and want to go home immediately and brag. The veterans also know that, after all, they are not kings, and no one will come to help them sing stories.
Hearing this, Alexander didn't slap the table like Luo Yonghao was cynical and pointed at everyone and yelled at you vulgar guys, but said: Then you will just die peacefully at home. Then help them be realistic ahead of time.
And just like that, the veteran died.

    SIFF7 and Oliver Stone watched the fourth edition director's cut version of "Alexander the Great". The non-linear narrative parallels the beginning and end of Alexander's fortune and death. The causal contrast is interspersed with each other, showing the fragile and feminine side of Alexander. Turning the epic weight of inertial thinking into a same-sex tragedy is embarrassing. Stone has done enough research on historical details (such as the Macedonian square).

    The man died young but with glory. Three and a half hours, from a young boy to a king who conquered Asia and Europe, as an epic film, it is still very exciting. Two brutal but decisive battles are recreated. Kings are not born, but God chooses to be made into kings. Hephaistion was always the only person he loved spiritually.

Alexander quotes

  • Olympias: Making himself a thirteenth god! He's drunk so much wine, my poor Phillip, he's lost his mind.

  • Hephaistion: [refuses to let Roxane see Alexander after the murder of Cleitus]

    Roxane: Let me pass. I am the Queen! I want to see him! I've waited three days!

    Hephaistion: He says none. Not even you.

    Roxane: He needs me!

    Hephaistion: No. He doesn't.

    Roxane: [mocking] And he needs you?
